I am trying to use libxml in my rails app. However I get the error:
cannot load such file -- libxml
as you can see libxml is installed in my gems:

I try to use it like this in my controller class:
require 'libxml'
def import
some code that it doesnt even reach
end
Does anyone know what I can do to make it work?
Using it on Mac OSX 10.9.x - Rails 4 - Ruby 2.1.1
UPDATE I installed nokogiri instead of libxml following the steps in http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html and added the gem to the gem file: gem 'nokogiri'
unfortunately the load error persists but now for nokogiri: cannot load such file -- nokogiri
Solved the problem: For some reason I had two different gem paths pointing ruby2.1.0 and Ruby 2.1.1. Including Ruby '2.1.1' in the gemfile solved the problem
